Publisher's Description

Raised by her aunt and uncle at the rectory in the small English village of Grimston Way, lovely Evy Varley remembers little of her missionary parents and nothing of South Africa, the land where she was orphaned during the Zulu War of 1878. But when Sir Rogan Chantry, the arrogant and handsome son of the local Squire, accuses Evy’s mother of stealing the infamous Kimberly Black Diamond, Evy sets out to prove the rogue wrong and clear her mother’s name.

Secrets abound, however, from the diamond mines of South Africa to the halls of her own beloved rectory. Strangers come to Grimston Way for their own mysterious purposes, a stunned Evy finds that her own aunt and uncle may have concealed disturbing truths about her family, and the dashing Sir Rogan has his own reasons to seek the missing diamond.

Yet despite Rogan’s seemingly rakish ways and the class differences that render a romance between them impossible, Evy finds herself drawn to the man who was once her childhood friend and now holds the keys to her heart. Faced with a dangerous past and an uncertain future, Evy must draw upon her wits and her faith to pursue Tomorrow’s Treasure.

A story of faith, danger and romance, Tomorrow’s Treasure is a masterpiece of historical suspense fiction.

Editorial Reviews

“Tomorrow’s Treasure invites the reader to look closely at God’s fatherly care for his orphans and widows, particularly those whose families were martyred on the mission field. An engaging historical novel!”–C. Hope Flinchbaugh, author of Daughter of China

“Absorbing human drama, intriguing mystery, heart-pounding love interests, a dramatic setting–this novel has it all, including a good message expertly woven into the greater story. I can’t wait for Book Two!”–Lisa Tawn Bergren, bestselling author of The Captain’s Bride

“Adventure. Intrigue. Romance. Settle back for an enjoyable read. Tomorrow’s Treasure is as old world as the setting, yet as contemporary as the human heart.” –Kathy Herman, bestselling author of The Baxter Series

“Linda Chaikin has created a wonderful page-turner with this engaging historical novel. Her sense of time and place is exquisite, her characters so real they seem ready to step right off the page. This is a story rich with conflict, triumph over adversity, and wondrous testimony to God’s grace. Your heart will sing as you read.”–Diane Noble, award-winning author of Heart of Glass

If this is your first time reading Linda Lee Chailkin, then this will be a good read for you if if enjoy historical fiction and romance. The beginning of this story is greatly exciting and fascinating. Ms. Chailkin has a great gift of taking a reader to exciting locations and educating her readers about the politics and background of her stories which adds to the excitement. Her books also have a great balance of story and faith. However, if you have read other of her books, the main characters and relationships in this story are very similar to other books she has written causing this book to be very predictable and somewhat dissappointing after part 1.

I really enjoyed this book and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading fiction, or is interested in the history of South Africa (or both!). Linda Chaikin has a real talent for blending sound Scriptural teaching with accurate history plus an interesting storyline. I definitely want books 2 and 3!

East of the Sun series was suspenseful and wonderfully exciting. All the historical facts and research evident in the book was fascinating. I felt like I was in Africa and England. You are truly a gifted writer-Linda, Praise the Lord for his gift.
